Men of the World

Devonshire Park Theatre

Tuesday 13 - Saturday 17 April 2010

By BAFTA award winner John Godber.

Join Stick, Frank and Happy Larry (two men and a woman!) as they embark on another coach journey down the Rhine Valley.

Watch a clip from the show by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page.

These long suffering drivers have seen it all and done it all! Travel with them to Paris with thirty old age pensioners, search for lost teeth in Koblenz, witness love affairs in Boppard and finally after a four-day ‘Umpah’ party make the long journey back.

Funny, sad and cinematic you’ll be amazed as Stick, Frank and Happy Larry play many of the pensioners in a total evocation of a bus trip.

Touching, funny and provoking comedy written by one of the nation’s leading comedy playwrights who has written over 50 plays and comes to Eastbourne by acclaimed producers Hull Truck Theatre.

**** “John Godber turns a bad trip into a brilliant night out. Much credit is due to the three-strong cast, who have nothing but a pile of old suitcases” The Guardian.

“This portrayal of the microcosmic world of coach travel, which purports to be filled with holiday ‘fun’ is utterly hilarious” Manchester On Stage
